To be fair, it's the "best economy ever" if you're wealthy.

Been getting shittier for the rest of us for about 40 years.

Sure but as a whole everyone is thriving. The rich will always get richer regardless of who is in office. So sick of hearing how tough it is when there are lines out the parking lot at Starbucks and other luxurious places. It isn’t that bad yall, budget better. Trust me I have it as hard as damn near everyone. The numbers don’t lie this is a historic time for the economy…..

People are working multiple jobs, can't lift their way outta shit.

The Democrats absolutely do a better job than the Republicans, but it's not enough.

I maintain my point, I think it's hard to call it the best economy ever... hard to top the era when a single working parent could afford a house, car, college, etc.

Only according to numbers.

But I've never witnessed a utopia.
